mago-mi v0.2.1 is released.

Precompiled binaries are available in DlangIDE release bundle.
https://github.com/buggins/dlangide/releases/tag/v0.6.5

Added support for a lot of GDB/MI commands.
Compatibility with GDB fixed.
Tested with Eclipse/DDT.

You can build dmd/x86 project in Eclipse/DDT, start debugging, 
use breakpoints, step in/out/over, see threads, stack frames, 
variables.
Just change Debug Configuration / Debugger setting - from GDB to 
mago-mi
